FORTIFICATIONS IN THE NE I'HERLANDS. :3,760 .... 2,301 2,190 600 83000 1,092 The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in risinz to more a grant nt money towards completing the fortifications in the Netherlands, had the satisfaction to remind the House, Char oftitiattely 1 hew might calculate the charge would not fall on this country. He thought it a matter of great congratu lation tri the House, that.hitherto there had been no delay on the part of the French Government in meeting those charges which they were hound to bear. Atter a few further re marks, he concluded by moving 'for a grant of 7-25,681/. 12s. ou account of the .sum of 2,000,0001. to he advanced by thi s country, towards completing the fortifications of the Nether lands, under a Treaty, signed August 13, 1914. Mr. WAR RE was not sure whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer had. stated France to have advanced the sum site • was hound to contribute towards the fortifications. The Go vernment of the Netherlands was bound to advance 2,0011,0001. as well as the Government of this country ; he wished to know what proportion of this sum they had advanced? Lord CASTLEREAGH stated this country, in consideration of the cession of certain Ctllonies, to have engaged to advance two millions towards the fortresses to be erected for the de fence of the Flemish frontier. Estimates of the intended works had been prepared by the engineers, which had been approv ed by the Duke of Wellington. The contributi o ns received from France were appropriated to these works as they came in, and what should remain when they were compacted would he divided equally between the two Governments. At pre- Sent France had not contributed all she was to pay towards them, as - in the first instance it had been stipulated that she should do this progresstvelyin the course of the five years. Eugland and the Government of the Netherlands were each boned to advance stuns not,exceeding 2,000,0001. to complete the works.- Mr. WARRE referred to an Article of the Treaty, from Which he thought it appeared that England was boUnd to ad- Val iCI any sum not exceeding 3 000 0001 Lord CASTLEREAGH asserted the whole snm the coun try was bound to advance was 2,000,0001, Mr. WAItItE read the Article of the Convention, and asked, if u der that Treaty this country might not be called upon for a third million ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Article referred to was not very clear, but the object of it was to secure an advance of 2,000,0001. from this country for the fortifications. For the cession of Guadaloupe 10001 was to he given under that Treaty ; aid the words alluded to by the lion. Gentleman were merely precautionary, that this country should in no case be called upon for snore than 5,u00,0001. Mr. IVARRE thought, as the article stood, this country was liable to be called upon for 4,000,0001. altogether. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, mot the slightest misunder standing on this subject had existed between the two Go vernments. It was perfectly understood that this country was nut to advance more than 4,000,0001. on account of the fortresses. Mr. TIERNEY said, from. the Treaty it appeared, that if the 2,000,0001. should he insufficient, this country might be called upon fur any sum nut exceeding a,000,000t. The motion was then agreed tu• OPPRESSIVE SURCHARGES. Lord LASCELLES presented a petition from certain shop keepers and retail traders of Lteds, who were persons of re spectability, and who were not much in the habit of complain ine of the taxes. It appeared that a very severe construction had been put on the law for regulatiug the duties on win dow.. which pressed very hard on the Petitioners. They also complained that where they had employed children to shut up their ivindows, to carry gut 'parcels, or to do any thing con nected with their business, it had been attempted to charge them as servants. These things led them to petition fur sonic alteration of the law, a, at present the Commissioners to whom they had appealed could afford them no redress. The petition svaj. then read. •. Sir ,E•Glt A HAM supported the petition, and corroborated the statement made by the Noble Lord. TheI:HANCELI,OI-1. of the EXCHEQUER, stated several represe,efathins to l.are been made to. the Treasury on the Manner in which it. was attempted to charge travellers and others connected with persons in business as servants, and some measure of relief was intended. With respect to the duties on windows, there mizlit be more difficulty, hitt the subject would be considered.—The Petition was -ordered to . he un the table. SA LT DUTY. In answer to a quetion from - Nlr. DAVENPORT, MI CriI.cRAFT said, he should certaiuly *rilt his moth) rt.sio..cling the Salt -Duties, on Tuesday, the I Ith RETURNS OF THE PROPERTY TAX. Mr. BRHUGHAM rose to make a motion, which, he trusted, would he as agreeable to the House as it would be acceptable to the country. His mo tion- was intended to effect the destruction of every retraining document or return of property made pursuant to the odious novelly Tax. Al though the returns had been promised to the House, they would recollect how imperfectly that pledge had been redeemed. The fact was, that in this city, and the towns- throughout the coun try, these returns were to be found enveloping the commonest cormtrodities, as waste paper. The effect likely' to be produced upon the cre dit or commercial character of individuals named in these returns, was obvious. No thing could he more prejudicial to trade than such disclosures. 'ho his inquiries on a former night, the Chancellor of the Excheyer . tsad re, /died, that the returns its the offices were all in blank. Admitting the names hail been left Out, still it world be very ea , y for the vagle-eyes of the 'fax-office people to discover who the parties were whose property was described, •from other parts of these schedules. But in most cases, he heiievcd, the pen had merely been drawn thronelp the name, leaving it still perfectly legible. Now it the Right Hon. Gentleman had in view any si milar measure, or one .at al.l resembling the Property Tax, which might be assisted by knowing the state of the property of a parish or district, let a gener4l item of the pro perty of such district he noted down in 'one line, without name or other local description, ,except that of the parish to which it applied. He feared there would be a great difficsilty found in insuring the destruction of theSe documents in the country, as well as town, inasmuch as the Tax office of the Right Hon. Gentleman hart but little control over there. Besides th ere always had been great backwardness on the part of the Tax : - office people, whom he could not help denomi nating.a refractory department, as to the produc tion of papers ordered by . that House. On . a late occasion papers had been ordered to be furnished from those offices on the 3d Feb, last ; it was now a full calendar month since that order, .and none such had as yet -made their appearance. The same returns, it ordered from the Treasury or ot her office, would have been completed its half the (nue,— In fact, they felt this House rather a troublesome impediment its the pursuit of their favourite . oc cupation of whippingop the. revenue, by prac tices savouring strongly of exaction, in these de, partments No doubt these persons . .feelings were in unison with those of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who never bean), the subject of property started its that place, ;Wit he diclirot sing the dirge of the Property Tax. Bot_ he would tell the Right Honourable G:ffisleman„ whatever %sere his views on this subject, he had only lost instead of gained ground, fur where there were formerly nine out of ten against that *i'ax. there are now 99 out of 100. Fur these reasons, he moved That That a Committee be appointed to inquire into the steps taken in pursuance of the order of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. to destroy all Returns made under the Income Tax, by any Bodies Corporate, or Individuals, and report thereon to the House. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, •if the lion. Gentleman had understood he- was 'dis posed to consent to a motion like the present be was msich mistaken, for he was very _far from thinking a Committee appoipted for the purpo s e set forth its the motion could do any good what ever. The Tax Office, in common with all the hoards under Government, were ever ready to comply with the orders of that House. He could exculpate the Tax Office in the instance which had beets brought forward by the Hon. Gentle man. Those who had imptired at the Vote Office respecting the return he had mentioned, must know that it had long beetvin the possession of the House, and had been printed by its order.— (Hear, bear I)—The return was ordered to be laid before the House by a Resolution of the 3d of February. On February 10. they had ordered that it should be printed, so that it was clear the return had been made as early as it could have been possible to make it --(Hear!)—Now, with respect to the Property Tax, whatever he might do in the event of a new war, it was not Isis in tention to propose that it should be revived during the continuance of peace.—(Hear, hear!)—lt had been eminently serviceable in war, and had car ried the country triumphantly through the greatest difficulties with which she had ever had to con tend ; but he thought it would be objection able, as he trusted it would be 'unnecessary, so long as the nation should be blessed with peace. —(Hear, hear !)—With respect to the returns of the Property Tax, be regretted that some of thew had been destroyed, as, if they had been preserved, they might have been useful in recovering arrears, or in detecting frauds which had taken place. He, however, had no wish that any of the returns made under the schedule B. which related to the affairs of those in trade, should be preserved. It was not reasonable to suppose that he could wish such documents preserved with a view to the re vival of the tax, as every one must know that pa pers, which referred to the circumstances of com. mercial men four years ago, would, if the tax were again to be brought forward, be of little or no use now. He only wished those to be preserved which could beot3no service to-the Minister when impos; ing any new tax—which had reference but to.land ed property—which had never been a mhtter of secrecy, and which never could disclose anything , of importance. The present mo,inn , however, was premature, for there still remained sus aerear of from 200,0001. to 300,0001. of the Property Tax due. Under all the circumstances, thetetore, he - must give a negative to the motion for the pre sent.—Mr. BROUGHAM- explained. Mr. GRENFELL did not wish to revive discus sions gone by, bat wished to prevent any mis apprehension as to the Secretary to the Board of 'faxes being implicated-in the unfavourable cha racter given of that BOard. .He must congratu late the House and the Country on its being now stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the ',iconic Tax was never to he laid on in time of peace. He thought no reason had been given why the motion should not be agreed to. Mr. CALveaT animadverted on the conduct of the Surveyors of taxes, in over-rating houses without examination or inquiry. He particu larly alluded to the parishes of Twickenham and Isle worth.. Mr. BROUGHAM could not help wondering at the course adopted by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer in opposing the motion. An inquiry seas all that was wanted. It there was any portion of the. papers which, consistently with the public service, ought not to be destroyed, they need not be touched. But the Right Hon. Gentleman acted in a way very inconsistent with his usual Candour, with respect to this motion; and' he could not help imputing the opposition which he now gave to it as originating in some other quarter. The Right Hon. Gentleman sent the Secretary of the Treasury to him (Mr. Brougham) to ask what was to be Vie nature of Isis motion ; upon which he put into that Hon. Gentleman's hands a copy of the motion itself, which very copy was carried across the House, and pot into the hands . of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who lie was told said that he did not object to a Committee. - When lie was informed of this, he told many of his friends that the sense of the House could not be taken on the twition, as it was to be agreed to. As tho , e Hon. Members were in consequence not now present, and as he knew they would wish to testify their opinions upon th, subject by their vote, he tilt it Isis duty to adjourn the debate npon this motion till Tues day next.—Mr. GRENFELL explained. . LAMBTON bore testimony to the truth of the statement of his Honourable Friend r. Brougham) respecting the communication of a copy of ,his Motion. Tbe , CioNcatAoa:of the ExcnEctutut said, he hal 'no Objection to the postpoitiwz the present motion. It was very trite, as stated by the Hon. soil Learned 6etillemau (Mr. Brougham), that be. had com . multicated a copy of his moti o n t o But wit it he said' on, that occa s ion was, that a motion for a Committee would be less objectionable than if it were, in another form; and that he did not oppoSe,the motion if it were put oft 'till a e - ornmittee"was amicably appointed., To this the Hon: acid Learned Gentleman refused to accede ; then of course he (Mr. V.) conceived, the negoeiatiOn to be entirely broken off. Mr, liaoironam certainly understood that it was not intetided to oppose the motion. Mr. LAsta : roN wished the House to observe, that the ChanCellor of the Exchequer did not op pose the motion for a Committee, until he under stood it was to be composed of a majority against hhpself.—(Lood laughter from the Ministerial Benches.)—The debate was then adjourned till Tuesday. PETITIONS. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a . Petition from certain persons in L ee ds, p r ayi ng th a t no- Indeinnity Bill might be passed, and lot Refinni in Parliament, and saying that unless a Reform took place they wont,' be unable to pay the exor bitant taxes.—Read, and orde'red to fie table. The Hon. Aldernia . n also presented a'sithiltniPailtinn,which he WaS t old was from twenty thousand, persons,,,ifillabitants of Birmingham, hnt he found it was signed by only prie person, int he name of him Self and a.large meeting. He was awrxr e it could only be received a s th e P e t itiO n ' o f th a t one , person ; _: }'d. as such he presented it. The Petition was brought up,.reaa, and ordered to lie on the table. Sir M. W. RIDLEY presented a Petition from twenty per sons, inhabilants ofNewcastie, praying for Reform in Parlia ment, and that Bill of linienlifily to Ministers might he Sesigh —Read, and o rd e r e d tiplie on the table. Lord ALTHORPE wished to know whe"n the Mutiny Bill was to hi - oughtlh ? -Lord I.YittMERSTON.—To-morrow. ' Lord ALTPORPF. then gave notice, that he would tomor row move a reduction of 5,00 u men in the amount of the force in the Army EstimatS. BANK PAYMENTS IN SPECIE. . , Lord A. HAMILTON rose to move fora paper, which he was surprised to hear neither the B.►nk- nor the Chancellor of the Exchequer wished should be presented to the House. Last year, when .he made : a similar motion, it was. opposed, on the ground that the Bank seas then engaged in preparing for the resumption of cash payments. He thought it high time that the House should interfere to obtflin the information which was the. object of his motion, and be no longer contented with whatever the Chancellor .of the Exchequer or the Gentlemen of the Bank thought proper to communicate. Hythen moved, that there be.laid. before the House a copy of any notice issued by the Directors of the Bank of Englaod. to: -the Public in 1818, respecting any. payment of notes in specie, together with the amount ,of the notes which such notice made the Bank liable to pay; and also an account . of the amount, of 'such notes paid off by the •Baok:,•. up to , the latest date to which stick account could be,•made up. •. The CHANCELLOR of The LXCHEQPER said, that the Noble Lord.,,would easily know the reason why the present motion would ibe objected tu, it he recollected the objection Which was made to a motion of a similar kind made during the last Ses, sion. The objection then made,avas, that an in quiry made by the House Into the measures adopted by the Bank for the purpose of , making their payments in specie, could only have the ef fect of deranging those measures. The same rea son still operated ivith unabated force, and yet the• Noble Lord wished the House .to agree to this motion. The success of the arrangements adopted by the Bank for resuming•cash payments depend ed very much an these arrangements -. being made and. acted upon itnperceptiWy,• as far as was pos sible, in a matter of such complicated extent.— The notice given by the Bank in September last, to which the Noble Lord's motion referred, was a sure pledge of the wish of the Bank to resume cash payments as Soon as circumstances permitted. He therefore felt it his duty to meet the Noble Lord's motion with a decided negative. hlr. GRENFELL remarked on this occasion, as on various others, that the . • Right Hon, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer sheaved a remarkable ala crity in stepping forward as the champion of the Bank. The objection of the Right Hon. Gentle. man to this motion was exactly the same as he had last year opposed to it ; but that objection was still less applicable now than it was at that time.—The House then divided— Ayes- ll Noes 34 Majority against the Motion —23 Mr. TIE'RNEY rose for the p ur po se o f moving that there be laid before the House a continuation, up to the present time, of the weekly returns 0 1 Bank Notes in circulation. *Although he 'yodel'. stood no opposition,vvas i to be made to this motion, he thought it proper to assign the reasrin wily he made it. That reasonwas lotinded on tile in' portance of affording fiat • infoemation respecting the amount of Bank ,paper in circulation, and the affairs of the Bank previous to the time when the Restriction Act would expire. fle wished to do WI justice to the willingness of the Bank to resume cash payments,,and complimented the present Gov e r nor o f - the Bank of England ; but it was to he considered, that the resumptiOn of cash-payments would necessarily have the effect of lessening the quantity of Bank paper in circu lation. This no doubt would produce consider able public inconvenience. With the view of di minishing that inconvenience, the obvious course was for the Bank gradually to ditniniAlt the amount of paper in circulation, as a preparation for casts payments. But it was to his utter astonishment he found, that immediately after the end of the last Session, when so much had been said of the preparations for cash-payments and 'the wishes and intentions of the Bank upon the subject, that very step was taken which would have been taken if it were intended not to resume cash paytnent-r-namely, an increase to the amount of several millions in the amount of paper in cir culation.. He thought that it was very much ow ing to the amount of the issues by the Bank last year that the rate of interest was lowered, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer enabled to make the flourishing: statements which he 'had laid before the House r,srmecting the general finance of t he country. All this sh , ..tved how n a rrowly die pro ceedings of t'he Bank and the Chancellor of the Exchequer should lie watched. His object was not to get gold from the in exchatti•.e for paper, but to restore the-corfelioy to a wholcsompe state. Unless that-was soon done, be was sure the personal property:of this couswy would be it* the utmost jeopardy. He did not sdy i his 'l):*ily., or for the purpose-of debate, but after Consideration of the , subject ; and tike be5t.,,,,- the faculties which God had given him. >tIII hoped was,. that this motion wouitt not he :merely granted, but that some of the Bank Directors would explain the reason of the-great increase in time amount of notes issued by the 13ankiwithim the last six months, and by'so doing interposing an almost inseparable bar that resumption of cash payments for which they ,professed them- • selves desirous. He concluded by moving for a continuation, up to the latest date, of the, Weekly amount of Bank Notes and Bank Post Bills issued by the Bank of England. The CHANCELLOR of the.ExcsseGumslid not mean to oppose the motion, and only, rose to say that he was to be understood as.assentiogomily,witis some limitation to the proposition; that -in order to prepare for the. resumption of cash payments, time Batik should withdraslr , h great proportion of the paper in cirenlation. Mr. MANNING said, .with/respeeU, -to the in crease within the last year in the -issues of the - Bank, it bad no connection with the adjournment of Parliament. About the month, of-Inly the payment of the dividends of the Three per Cents. Most of necessity have occasioned.. 4 increase the issues of the Bank. - - Mr. GRENFELL said, that the increase in time athount _Of the issues of the Balik, - which his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Tierney),had referred to, was not confined to the Month of- July, but was on the average of the whole last-six months . He complained that the uueertainty which now pre vailed relative to the Jestimption of ,such par ments, was productive of much evil in the City, and occasioned time fluctuations and speCulations in the funds. The delay of the Chancellor of miie . Exchequer in the declamation of his fitmi.ocial plans, had also time effect of iucreasing these floc.. , and gave individuals to,whom any hints relative to those plans wete communicated, aatr opportunity of engaging in these.,speculations.--- He therefore hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would put an end to this by an explicit declara- • tion to time House of what was intended with re- spect to the Restriction Act, atr.l the 'plans of finance for the year. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he must utterly deny that any thing had been said by .him, in this House OT elsewhere, or .could hare been said by any, person in his confidence, to oc casion the fluctuations in the Funds, or to enable Any sqcli speculations as the Han. Gentleruan (Mr. Greniell) alkded to. He positively denied the truth of the imputation-which seemed to be con— veyed. by the lion. Ge►►tleman, and mist repel it with the contempt which- it deserved.—(Hear !) —lie wr► u ld . leave , the- . llonourable Gentleman .... , _ . hitnself,to decide whether any pretnature.or par tial statement .by him, on either of the two sub jectsonentioned, would not have the effect o f pr o .. muting those speculations which ought so much to be discouraged. . Mr. TIERNEY •said, that if he. found .that the Bank did not, before the end of March, withdraa some part of the immense amount of paper in cir culation, so as to prepare for the resumption of . cash payments, he would move a resolution for the purpose of adopting some precautionary men sure against such a proceeding on the pat of..th* Bank, as would bring the personal property of the country into imminent danger. Mr. GRENFELL said, nothing was furffter from his intention than to impute auy impropel or eon rupt motive to the Right Hon, the_ Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, of all- who had ever filled that high station, was, he verily believed,, the last man who would be capable of such ad act.-- (Hear !) The motion was then agreed to. Theother or- ders of the day were then disposed of,: and the House adjourned. LONDON: Printed by .1. B.
